Known issues

Resolv conf is not being restored after disconnection

This may not be related to this tool but OpenVPN in general. In some cases changes done to /etc/resolv.conf are not rolled back. OpenVPN does create a backup /etc/resolv.conf.ovpn3bak but it is sometimes overwritten on reconnection.
